Abstract

AbstractVision 20/20 was developed by the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) in 2013 as a forward‐looking initiative describing the characteristics of organizations with exceptional process safety performance. The CCPS Vision 20/20 incorporated five basic tenets: Committed Culture, Vibrant Management Systems, Disciplined Adherence to Standards, Intentional Competency Development, and Enhanced Applications of Lessons Learned. These tenets represent foundational elements that are essential for excellence in process safety and have been the basis for improved process safety performance in many companies, including Dow. As we end the year 2020, it is time to reflect on Vision 20/20 and the future of process safety over the next decade. Certainly, the five tenets of Vision 20/20 remain critical for sustained process safety performance. However, now is an appropriate time to consider how developing technology can drive new advances in process safety over the next decade. At Dow, the utilization of digital technologies is helping to take Vision 20/20 to new heights by providing tools, insights, and applications that improve process and personal safety as well as drive value delivery. Through the application of analytics, robotics, mobile tools, and overall data connectivity, Dow is driving improvements in inspections, reductions in confined space entries, greater unplanned event prevention, and improved reliability. The application of these emerging and applied digital tools sets the standard for beyond Vision 20/20 performance in operational safety and reliability.
